Potential French Bashing Alert: With Barack Obama about to visit Paris this Friday, we expect some media outlets to renew some form of French Bashing. Please report any Anti-French comments in the Press or Media.
We would like to feature two videos from the C-Span Archives. The first video [C-Span Archives] is of John J. Miller at the Heritage Foundation, and is dated Feb 27th 2005. Miller is the author of a book we covered extensively here at Miquelon.org. The video documents the profound Anti-French bias of the author and his feeble attempts at humour.

Frank Luntz: If it wasn’t for us, the French would be speaking German right now
This has to be one of the strangest, out-of-the blue, French Bashing comments ever aired by Fox News. It happened during Hannity & Colmes. The odd exchange came after a clip where Barack Obama’s suggested Americans should learn another language. Barack Obama : “It’s embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe and all we can say is merci beaucoup, right?” Read the rest of this entry »
Gossip columnist Ryan Tate of Gawker.com fame fancies himself a comedic writer. In his gossip roundup dated Friday July 11th, he wrote a few word about Angelina Jolie’s pregnancy and her French doctors.
“Angelina Jolie wants to give birth, already, and leave the hospital like a tough American patriot. But her lazy, arrogant French doctors will make her wait in agony for three more days so they can celebrate cutting off rich people’s heads like communists and probably also so they can fornicate with their unbathed mistresses, get drunk and fantasize about terrorism. See what happens under socialized medicine? Celebrity divas are grossly inconvenienced! Awesome, right?” Read the rest of this entry »

Italy beat France at soccer two nil. Soccer is a game of endurance, strategy and team building. Being the most popular team sport in the world, it often stokes the patriotic fibre in fans and the public at large.
However, when it comes to sports commentators, we sometimes have to endure slurs and jabs. The latest example is Paul Doyle’s June 17 column replete with the entire Anti-French lexicon of latter day French Bashing. Read the rest of this entry »
